A member asked:
Would taking clonazepam on a daily basis for a period of 9 months at an avg of .25mg result in any permanent cognitive deficits or brain damage? or should i return to baseline and be the same as i was before following withdrawal/cessation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
??: really no way to predict , but all else being equal, no reason to expect anything different. Except hopefully you have been doing some counseling,,and possibly plan to continue to do some counseling which will potentially make all the difference in terms of your reactions and ideas. Best Wishes!
